Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable
@bpoletti I used these Hudson Hi-Fi 4x 2.5" Platinum Silicone Hemisphere Bumper Non Skid Isolation Feet w. Adhesive - that were reasonably priced for my butcher block turntable base. They are easier to use and don’t have the sticky tacky feel of s... 
Longer speaker cables or interconnects
@unreceivedogma, First of all my rig is in no way in your rigs league. Let’s get that straight right now. I notice you play your albums with the dust cover on. Well, my first so called ’audiophile’ turntable was a Pro-Ject RPM 5.1 SE and I couldn... 
Parks Audio Puffin
Thanks johnto for starting this discussion and thanks jimofmaine and mschu for taking the time to responding to this thread. I may not have sounded like a fan of the Puffin, but I really am. And if I would not have the Budgie, I would have purchas... 
Parks Audio Puffin
Hi good folks,I would like to hear a review from someone who already owns a Parks Audio Budgie Tube Phono preamplifier and has tube rolled (2) NOS Telefunken E88CC/6922 vacuum tubes or similar vs the new Parks Audio Puffin.   Not to long aft... 
Need help with Subwoofer upgrade
@rmiller01, within or maybe just a little more of your price range check out Power Sound Audio subwoofers vented and sealed and if you get a chance to listen to any particular sub do so and trust what you hear and like. To me the best way to 'ear'... 
Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B
@tzh21y,I suspected as much. I have never understood how the ’professional reviewers’ could review an item with no burn/run in time. At least @pani took 2 weeks or more to try and give a proper listen.@pani,I too at one time owned a phono pre that... 
Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B
This may sound like a rookie or newbie question cause I can’t even afford the turntables you good folks reference above, but doesn’t the SL-1200G’s hardware, peripherals, even down to the tonearm, headshell wires and interconnects all have to be b... 
TT mats
@perazzi28 Sorry good folks for coming to this set so late. I also use this inexpensive tweak but high quality GEM Dandy rubber cork compound mat and you can hear the difference between it and the stock mat. The GEM Dandy rubber cork compound mat... 
Moving from MM to MC
@bimasta,Good call, I forgot about the platter mat and the effect it has on the turntables overall sound. The one I use is the inexpensive tweak but high quality GEM Dandy rubber cork compound mat and you can hear the difference between it and the... 
Moving from MM to MC

Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Hi again good folks here, can you all expand on the type of headroom the Vandy’s have? How do they sound when everyone is away, you’re the only one there in the house and you really crank them up playing the best recorded music stuff you have? I w... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Hi Tim, I have a vintage $30 Scott AM FM Stereo 355R receiver and a $50 KLH Model 17 pair of speakers that I purchased at the ’antique shop’ years ago that has been sitting in my ’Hi-Fi storage closet’ that I had planned to restore but never got a... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
@noble100, you have completely blown my mind...And I am sober right now and have been for months... And to think about a month ago I bought a (almost vintage) in mint condition SVS PB12 Plus/2 sub in matte black grittex finish with the 900 watt ba... 
Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage?
@uberwaltz, I'm using the 'little giant killer' the Parks Audio Budgie Tube Phono preamplifier. And @invictus005, I pair the above phono pre with 2  NOS Telefunken E88CC/6922’s which has given me some of the the sweetest sound I've ever heard...
